Recommended Posts

Uffff...so happy to meet my surgeon today! I had scheduled for my next appointments, I really hope my insurance approve me.. 35.1BMI , HBP (was very high today), high cholesterol, and diabetes type 2. Any advise that can help me with my insurance approval? Thanks :)

The co-morbidities should put you over. When you get your psych eval be careful what you say.

What do we need to look out for during the psych eval?

Good for you! I have my consult on Friday. I went to my surgeon's seminar last week and I have a sleep study scheduled for Thursday night. I also have high b.p. & diabetes type 2. I hope my insurance will be good to me too. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
